Anti-Stigma
Often, children, youths and adults who have a mental health diagnosis are treated differently by society once their situation is made public.
It’s All About U
It’s All About U is a campaign designed to educate children, schools, families, and the Allegheny County community about the importance of mental health and the role stigma plays in preventing not only treatment but simple dialog about how we feel. The campaign is being administered by the county’s Community Connections for Families (CCF) program. In 2001, the campaign was piloted in five schools. Currently, the campaign is available to any school in Allegheny County.
